Sherman Wetland
2016-10-06

I arrived about 2pm. It was clear, sunny and warm. They have completed the mowing that started last week. The east side of the levee has been mowed now making it much easier to drive along it to the beginning of the boardwalk. There are lots of wasps buzzing around the boardwalk. Maybe better to do this site early in the morning when itâ€™s cold.

I fixed the PRI and NDVI sensors. Their SDI-12 wires had been pulled loose from the control port. It was a tight stretch to get them back in, so I added an extension wire to a four port screw terminal. This worked well.

Here too, I opened the wash box lid and threw in some moth balls. I left the lid open hoping the wasps will relocate.
